Kamo??!!!
I
hope you all had a great week!!! Only a few days until Christmas, wow that was
really fast!! But I am super excited to talk to you guys here in a few days!!
So
this week has been a very fun and great week!! A lot of travel, but it was
worth it! So this past week on tuesday and wednesday was the philippines iloilo
mission christmas conference!!! It was soo fun!! So the first day we did this
light the world balloon releasing thing, watched mr krugers christmas, watched
some other little videos, heard the testimony of those who will be going home
next transfer, and then went to an apartment close to the mission home to
sleep. There were like 30 of us in this one house, so lets just say that there
wasn't a lot of sleeping going on. Then the next day each zone gave their
presentations that they prepared, it was really fun to watch. We kind of messed
up on ours, but it was still okay. My former zone, Lapaz zone, did the best, I
was proud of them!! We also had a huge feast, played games, did a gift exchange
( I got old spice deodorant wahoo) and that was basically it! The best part for
me was just seeing everyone, I have made so many friends here on the mission,
it was great to see them all! I even got to see Isaac Taeolii from murray. It
was a really fun christmas conference!
So
Christmas conference was for sure the highlight of the week, but the rest of
the week was pretty great as well!! We know have got a feel for the area now,
we know where most everyone and everything is now. We don't get lost anymore so
that nice!! Probably the best miracle that happened to us this week was with
the sister I told you all about last week, how we walked with her son home and
then she Immediately let us in the house and was willing to listen. That day we
felt prompted to share the book of Mormon with her. And this week when we went
back to teach her, she said that she gets a great feeling everytime she reads
the book of mormon and she is already in 1 ne. 19! Wow! What an awesome
experience it was to teach her, she told us that the Book of Mormon was
different than other religious books she has read, she said she understands it
better, she basically already has a testimony of it. That is the first time
that something like that has happened on my mission, I know and am so grateful
that she was prepared by heavenly father to hear our message. We have been so
blessed with many people that have been prepared by heavenly father to hear the
gospel!
We
are very excited for the baptism of sister Iris this saturday! It also the
branch christmas party. It will be held at the beach! Should be a lot of fun!!
Sister Iris is so excited and her close friend at the branch and her are
talking about serving a mission, that is so cool! I will give you all of
the details this next week!
Well
it just a few days I will be talking with you guys so that should do it for
this week! Love you all and talk to you soon!!!
